In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

Chapter 210 Ridicule

After the three daughters-in-law changed their clothes, Liu Yan led them out of the house and headed straight for Chen Dao's house.

"When we get to Daoge's house, eat as much as you can."

As Liu Yan walked, she reminded him, "Dao Ge'er won't mind if we eat a lot, but you must remember that you can only eat it yourself and can't take it home."

After saying that, Liu Yan added, "Also, when you go to work later, you absolutely must not slack off!"

Chen Dao had been good enough to her family, providing them with food and money, and even helping her son find a wife. Liu Yan didn't care about others, but she absolutely wouldn't allow her own family members to slack off in their work, otherwise she would be letting Chen Dao down.

"We understand!"

The three daughters-in-law all nodded. As they passed the school, Zhao Xiaoyun heard the childish voices reciting lessons coming from Li Zheng's house and couldn't help but ask, "Mother, where is this place?"

"This is the school in our village."

Liu Yan replied with a smile, "All the children in the village can study at the school for free. Your younger brothers and sisters are studying there now."

Free books?

Zhao Xiaoyun and the other two looked surprised, as this was something they had never known before.

Li Li couldn't help but ask, "Scholarship costs a lot. Where does the village get the money to support so many people to go to school?"

Even farmers in the Xia Kingdom knew that studying was an extremely luxurious thing, and with their income, it was impossible for them to afford to support students.

"It was Daoge'er who paid for it!"

Liu Yan explained, "Whether it's the expenses for the children's schooling or the food rations for the villagers, it's all provided by Daoge'er."

Zhao Xiaoyun and the other two exchanged bewildered glances. They had heard the name Chen Dao many times before and knew he was a capable person, but they never imagined he was even more capable than they knew. He not only ensured the villagers of Chenjia Village had enough to eat, but also provided free education for the village children…

"If you have children in the future, you can send them to school to study!"

Liu Yan said with eyes full of anticipation, as if she could already see the future of her three daughters-in-law giving birth to children for the Chen family.

Zhao Xiaoyun and the other two blushed slightly; after all, they were newlyweds and embarrassed to talk about having children.

As they spoke, the four of them arrived at Chen Dao's house. The villagers who were queuing up to receive steamed buns greeted them with smiles when they saw them arrive.

"Look! Our village's bride is here!"

"Hehe! Look at the bride!"

"Why did the bride change out of that beautiful dress she wore yesterday?"

"That's a pointless question. We're going to work today, and those clothes are definitely not suitable for work!"

"Where are Cheng-ge and the others? The bride is already up, are they still fast asleep?"

"..."

Faced with the villagers' good-natured teasing, Zhao Xiaoyun and her two newlywed wives were a little embarrassed and quickly moved behind Liu Yan. However, seeing the enthusiastic villagers of Chenjia Village, they felt much more at ease.

When they first married into Chenjia Village, they were actually a little unsure about their unfamiliar living environment, but fortunately...

The villagers of Chenjia Village did not reject them; on the contrary, they were quite welcoming.

In addition, Zhao Xiaoyun and the other two girls saw a donkey cart parked on the roadside outside the door. Standing next to the donkey cart was none other than Chen Dao, whom the three of them often heard about, as well as Chen Da, Chen Jiang, and Chen Si.

Yes.

Chen Dao is going to town again today. Before leaving the county last time, Chen Dao asked Xu Zhiwen for a group of craftsmen. Today is the day Chen Dao goes to the county to pick up the craftsmen. In addition... Su Qiaoxi and her grandfather are also there.

After a period of intensive construction, the house prepared for Su Qiaoxi and her grandson has been completed, and it's time to bring them over.

However, Chen Dao did not set off immediately, but waited for his personal bodyguard Chen Cheng. According to Chen Cheng's usual habits, he would have arrived by now, but today he was unusually late.

Of course, Chen Dao wasn't angry about it. Putting himself in his shoes, if he had just gotten married yesterday, he would definitely have gotten up a little later today. It's only natural, so there's no need to be too harsh on him.

"Rice Brother".

While dealing with the villagers, Liu Yan walked towards Chen Dao and said, "Should I go and call Cheng Ge over?"

Liu Yan knew that Chen Dao was waiting outside the door for Chen Cheng's arrival. At this moment, she couldn't help but feel annoyed. She should have woken Chen Cheng up before leaving, so as not to delay Chen Dao's business.

"Aunt Liu, don't worry."

Chen Dao smiled and said, "Cheng-ge'er got married last night, he must be a little tired, I understand!"

As soon as Chen Dao finished speaking, a figure came running over in a hurry. Judging from his strong physique and long legs that took two steps for each other, who else could it be but Chen Cheng?

"Cheng-ge'er is here!"

"Cheng-ge must have been exhausted last night to get up so late!"

"Haha! I just got married, how could I not be busy? When I first got married, I wanted to stay in bed all day!"

"..."

Upon seeing Chen Cheng, the villagers burst into laughter, making Zhao Xiaoyun and the other two women blush.

Chen Cheng ran straight to Chen Dao and said apologetically, "Brother Dao, I'm late."

"fine!"

Chen Dao waved his hand and said, "Since we're here, let's set off!"

After saying that, Chen Dao got on the donkey cart and signaled Chen Jiang, who was in charge of driving, to turn the cart around and head out of the village.

Chen Cheng glanced back at Zhao Xiaoyun, nodded to Zhao Xiaoyun and Liu Yan, and then jumped onto the donkey cart.

Watching the donkey cart disappear into the distance, Zhao Xiaoyun couldn't help but ask with some worry, "Mother, will Cheng-ge'er be in danger?"

After spending the night together, Zhao Xiaoyun finally developed some feelings for Chen Cheng. Knowing that Chen Cheng was going to the city, she couldn't help but feel worried, after all, the official road in those days was really not safe.

"fine!"

Liu Yan comforted her, "You'll be fine following Dao Ge'er, don't worry!"

After saying that, Liu Yan added, "Alright! Let's go line up for food!"

So Liu Yan and her three daughters-in-law lined up behind the villagers.

Before long, it was Liu Yan and the other three's turn to receive the steamed buns.

After receiving their steamed buns from Ding Xiaohua, who was in charge of distributing the meals, each person ate their buns as they walked towards the farmland.

Zhao Xiaoyun tore off a small piece of steamed bun with her hand, put the snow-white shreds of bun into her mouth, and after chewing for a while, her eyes couldn't help but squint.

She had heard her father talk about how delicious steamed buns were before, but she had never had the chance to taste them. Now, suddenly tasting their sweet flavor, she couldn't help but feel happy.

Of course, what made Zhao Xiaoyun happiest was that... all the news she had heard about Chenjia Village before was true. Life in Chenjia Village was indeed prosperous, and they could have steamed buns to eat every meal!

"Really delicious!"

Zhao Xiaomei's face relaxed, and she said with a smile, "Mom, can we really eat these steamed buns every day?"
